Hand Dyed Wool
If the ad states that we have the wool in stock - it ships the same or next day after payment, unless you want me to cut the wool for you for rug hooking. Then it might be a day or two longer, but I will always let you know if there is a delay. The large wholesale orders of wool are hand dyed to order and can take up to a week before I can ship it out. You can contact me for turn around time on the hand dyed wholesale wool if you need a delivery time estimate. We have an always rotating supply of wool in stock at all times.

WHY USE LANOLIN and WHAT IS LANOLIN WOOL?
All wool has been soaked in pure hospital grade lanolin as the final soak. This makes the wool soft and conditions the wool to make it hook better and feel better in your hands.

We use a lanolin wool wash called Kookaburra. It re-infuses the wool with all its wonderful goodness. Kookaburra is also offered in our store so you can treat all your wool and make it even more wonderful!

When you dye wool, the lanolin is melted out of it. After we dye our wool, we soak it in the Kookaburra, which puts the lanolin back in the wool.

Wool with lanolin, resists dirt, debris, stains, dust and water. By soaking our wool, it makes for a much better final product for you.

Once you use our wool, we are sure you will feel, smell and see the difference. Wool is marvelous and wonderful and a lot of its greatness is for its lanolin properties.

WILL YOU CUT THE WOOL FOR ME FOR RUG HOOKING?
Wholesale orders of wool would have additional charges for cutting wool. Any wool listed that is less one yard, I will cut in the size you request with no additional charges or fees, as long as you are willing to wait for a day or two for shipping after your payment and checkout.

If you dont have a cutter for rug hooking, let us cut the wool for you. We use a Rigby and a Fraser to cut our wool.

We have blade sizes #3 through #10. Blade numbers and widths are as follows:
# 3 = 3/32" wide
# 4 = 1/8" wide
# 5 = 5/32" wide
# 6 = 6/32" wide
# 7 = 7/32" wide
# 8 = ¼" wide
# 8.5 = 5/16" wide
# 9 = 3/8" wide
#10 = ½" wide
#3-#4 are considered as fine or traditional rug hooking size - you get very fine detailing with these size cuts.
#5-#7 are midway sizes and allow some detailing
#8-#8.5 are considered traditional primitive hooking widths
#9-#10 are considered wide hooking
Each cut has its own nuances and pros and cons - it is perfectly acceptable to use all sizes of cuts in one rug or art piece. We will be happy to cut bundles in one size or a variety of sizes for each bundle for you with no additional fees. Just let us know in checkout messages or email what sizes you want your wool.

WHAT KIND OF WOOL IS USED?
Unless otherwise stated in individual listing, these are brand new off the bolt textures, plaids, tweeds and solids hand overdyed with our stock dye colors. These ARE ALL NEW 100% WOOL OFF THE BOLT - HAND DYED, AND SOAKED IN OUR LANOLIN WOOL WASH, unless otherwise stated in the ad that we used recycled woolens.

These wools are all the perfect weight for rug hooking and penny rugs. A nice medium weight with great hand and feel to each wool. These wools are 12 to 14 ounce per yard. Perfect for rug hooking, penny rugs, appliqué, quilting, sewing and more. These wools are all what I use in my own rug hooking and wool crafts, and I know first hand how each and every wool reacts and responds when being used for rug hooking and crafts. This is marvelous quality wool.

We steam press all our wool before we photograph it, list it and store it for shipping. These wools are dyed, in stock and ready to ship as soon as payment is made. We only have the quantity listed, but can always dye more, or dye another color on your request.

WHY BUY FROM SHORN SHEEP?
All of our wool is pressed after we dye, rinse, dry and store our wool for shipping. The wool looks and acts better for you right when you open our packages. It is ready to use in your crafts with no additional treatments or processing.

With each order you get a lavender sachet and a sample of our hand made hang tags.

We use acid dyes especially for wool and protein fibers and set our colors with citric acid instead of vinegar. This makes our colors brighter and more vibrant. Our wool color is full of life and is heirloom quality for your finished items.

This hand dyed wool is lightly mottled for nice effect.

Our lanolin wool wash, Kookaburra, is completely biodegradable and safe for the environment and all septic systems. It is made from all natural ingredients and pharmaceutical grade lanolin. There are no toxins of any kind in the lanolin wool wash that we use. Our wool is a delight to smell and feel!

We do whatever we can to make our sales a wonderful experience for you. We want to be the best hand dyed wool vendor you have ever met!

It takes a lot of hours to hand dye, rinse, dry, and press each wool piece before we photograph it, list it and package for shipping - but the difference is very noticeable when you receive our wool in your post.

Lots of love, care and time goes into our wool during its whole life with us. We know you are creating great works of art and want to help however we can.
